At Man With Van Croydon, we are committed to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out the steps we take to prevent slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can take many forms, and we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to any practice that exploits or harms people.

Our commitment applies to every part of the business, including recruitment, subcontracting, procurement, and service delivery. We expect all employees, contractors, and business partners to uphold the same principles. As a Man with Van Croydon service provider, we understand that trust is essential, and ethical conduct is central to that trust.

We work to identify and reduce risks through careful oversight of our working relationships. Before appointing suppliers or subcontractors, we assess their labour practices, ownership structures, and compliance history. Where needed, we request written confirmation that they comply with all relevant employment and human rights laws.

Supplier management is a key part of our prevention strategy. Supplier audits may be carried out periodically, either directly or through documented checks, to confirm that labour standards are being upheld. These audits may include review of contracts, pay practices, working hours, and the treatment of workers. If concerns are identified, we seek immediate corrective action and may suspend or end the relationship if improvements are not made.

We also provide training and internal guidance so that our team can recognise warning signs such as unexplained wage deductions, restricted movement, debt bondage, or unusual control over workers. This awareness helps the Man With Van Croydon team remain vigilant in everyday operations and strengthens our ability to act quickly when concerns arise.

Our reporting channels are designed to make raising concerns straightforward and safe. Any employee, contractor, or supplier representative who suspects modern slavery or unethical treatment can report it through internal management routes or designated safeguarding procedures. Reports are treated seriously, handled sensitively, and investigated promptly, with protection against retaliation for those who speak up in good faith.

Where a concern is substantiated, we will take appropriate action based on the severity of the issue. This may include corrective requirements, retraining, increased monitoring, contract review, or termination of the business relationship. We believe that responsible action is not only a legal duty but also a moral one, reflecting the standards expected of a trusted van removal and transport provider.

We are equally committed to improving our due diligence over time. Our procurement practices aim to favour reputable suppliers who demonstrate ethical recruitment, lawful employment, and respect for worker welfare. When partnering with new vendors, we expect accurate records, transparent operations, and readiness to cooperate with checks and follow-up questions.

To ensure this statement remains effective, it is reviewed annually by management. The review considers any reported concerns, audit findings, training needs, and changes in law or operational risk. The outcome informs updates to our policies and procedures, helping the company respond to emerging risks and maintain accountability across the Man With Van Croydon supply chain.

We do not accept modern slavery in any form, and we will continue strengthening our controls, communication, and oversight to help prevent exploitation. This statement reflects our ongoing promise to act responsibly, protect vulnerable individuals, and promote fair treatment in all business activities.

As part of our continued commitment, we encourage a culture of openness, ethical decision-making, and respect. By combining vigilance, supplier accountability, reporting pathways, and annual review, Man With Van Croydon aims to uphold the highest standards and support the eradication of modern slavery wherever risks may exist.
